About the series
In this taut 2004 miniseries from Image, a covert government operative suffering from a degenerative brain condition is forced to confront the moral cost of his missions when a routine extraction goes violently awry. Writer and artist Tony Harris (best known for Starman) crafts a sleek, paranoid thriller that explores identity, memory, and the blurry line between hero and monster. Though only four issues long, Patient Zero stands as a taut, character-driven espionage story that showcases Harris's distinctive, photo-realistic art and his knack for psychological tension.
